Just returned to Zeds and I'm after a Piper 4-1 exhaust with or without baffle. Yes, yes, I know that they are difficult to come by but some things in life just have to be done and if there is one sitting around I am pretty sure this is the place to be asking. Will pay cash or part ex right arm.

Not much help, but i threw one away last year, i did at first consider having a stainless copy made but never got round to it. there's a pic of one on my 9, look my bikepics link below.
Consider getting one made.

zapo, you may do better if you offer more money rather than more limbs, the guys on here are a bit strange, but i don't think they are that strange.
just a thought mate.
another thought is, have you seen the misty 4/1 zpower sell

I'm getting one of those for next winters mod job on my z1a, i know its not a piper, but i am of a certain age and remember the piper, i think the misty is a near miss.

I just dug my old Piper out of the tool shed last week, I remember that I used to love the sound and look of that pipe. It is in a sorry state so I am going to have it blasted and re-welded where needed and re-chromed if it is not OTT price wise. The thing I remember about mine is having to corner carefully until I had worn the pipe bottom down to a nice flat surface
I put it in place on the bike and the memories flooded back. I have been smiling ever since. Good luck in finding one, you won't regret it.

Sorry, it did come out like that. It wasn't intentional

That's ok durhamz1b, Zapo knows I have one as well,
Dont see many nowadays, like mickz1a says, the misty is a nice pipe, I like the bend on the down pipes, but it's not a piper

as pj knows i tried to get some pipers remade using his as a pattern but all the contacts i had just wanted both arms and legs to do them plus a big wedge of cash to mop up the blood.so i gave up .i have achrome kerker on my bike which looks every bit as nice as a piper and sounds good .
the alfa was another and also the early harris pipes before they put silly end cans on them.

Guys, I'm proud of you all. I just knew that a little more humour would get you out of your shells.
Thanks for all comments which I will fillow up.
To Durhamz1b.....No offence taken you bugger ha ha ha whats you address as I want to start practicing my catburgler-ing (if thats how you spell it!).
To PJ, I hate you lol gimmi gimmi gimmi
Obviously I am offering a big pot of gold as well as limbs and on reflection I will have to keep my left arm for beer drinking to drown my sorrows,
On the subject of getting a pipe made up, can one of you buggers with said pipe please measure the silencer diameter and let me know what it is
cheers all,
